Chapter 79 - Bison (1)

"We built a chicken cope and put rooves on a piggy house!!", the young boys bragged to their families and the maids.

"Is that so?", the Empress said to them with a motherly smile, "I am sure that was a lot of work, why don't you go get cleaned up for dinner. We are having chicken soup and fresh baked bread tonight."

Shouting out with excitement the boys ran off to the bathroom while throwing off their clothing. Scolding the boys for their behavior, the maids told that they knew better than to do that. Sticking their tongues out at them, and telling them that they weren't the boss of them the four boys heard the crack of a leather belt. Looking over at me, they saw the serious expression on my face and changed their tune. Grabbing their clothing, the ran off to undress in an appropriate place away from where we could see them. Nodding with approval, the maids seemed to enjoy the empowerment they got when someone backed them up.

"Thank you for taking care of them today.", Gwen told me with a smile, "It was nice to have an afternoon to ourselves. While I love my little brother, he can be quite a handful when he isn't entertained."

"What I think you mean to say is, it's nice to have him listen for once. They never listen to us when we give them instructions. Our brother only listened to our old maid because she would discipline him.", Anna reminded her, "Father only let her do it because she used to paddle him as a child too."

"Either way, thank you for taking care of them.", the Empress told me with a wink, "It's nice to see them excited about something again. It's been a while since I have seen a smile on my sons and nephew's faces."

"I am happy to be of help, I will stop by to help as I can. Things will be picking up soon as we make our push inland.", I said, "If you need to have them do something to burn off some energy, just have a few of your guards watch over them while they split wood. I trust you gentlemen can prevent them from seriously injuring themselves, right?"

Nodding their heads, the guards agreed they could do that much. It wasn't like it was anymore dangerous than fencing or jousting so I knew they wouldn't have a problem.

"Oh, so we will be seeing you more often.", the women said perking up.

"Yes, I will make sure that those boys get brought up right.", I remarked though I was fairly certain those words fell on deaf ears.

Scurrying off to do something the Royals left the room in short order leaving the maids and guards laughing at them. Realizing I may have an error in telling them upfront, I sighed and told them I would see them later. As I closed the door behind me, I looked up at the sky and sighed.

'I swear, they can't be any more obvious about what they are thinking.', I thought, 'It's pretty clear now that they have a job and are slowly improving that this isn't about their survival now. I just hope this doesn't become a bloodbath with them trying to kill each other. Well...if it does get that bad I could bend them over, and give them a spanking.'

Thinking about that for a moment, I guessed it wouldn't be too bad to do it. Knowing how they reacted about certain things already, they may actually enjoy being abused to some extent. Royal women always seem to be into the bondage thing in almost every storyline I knew, I never understood the reason why. Even when the woman seemed to be a cruel person, she always became a submissive bitch with a little persuasion.

Returning home I found Shigure, Miu, and Renka finishing up the little room for Tōchūmaru. Having heard what happened from Kyoko, Shigure almost went to execute the Empress for insulting him. It took almost an hour to talk her down, and in the end I got the Empress to apologize which was the most important part for Shigure. Even when it was all said and done though, the little guy did need his own place to go for relaxation. Last thing I wanted was for some poor soldier to pull a gun on him thinking he was an ordinary mouse. The soldier would need an ambulance after the encounter, not Tōchūmaru.

"How's it coming along?", I asking them admiring the view.

"We are about done.", Shigure replied adjusting the furniture pieces, "Thank you for making him these things, I appreciate it. I always wanted to do this for him, but I never had the time to do so."

"He is family so it's no problem.", I told her, "I am sure even he needs some place to unwind after a long day."

Seeing her smile at that comment, I left them to finish decorating. Glancing over to the dining room table, I found Saya trying to teach Lucy, Zero Two, and Ilulu common things they would need to know. The three women were intelligent, but when it came to completely foreign concepts they were a bit slow on the uptake.

"I don't understand why I have to know this math stuff!", Ilulu shouted, "I help Victor, I don't need math."

"It's important you understand money so people don't try to steal from you.", I told her, "If we send you on an errand to get something from a trader, you should know how to calculate the change."

"But why?", she asked.

"So that way they don't steal from you.", Zero Two told her.

"I'd kill them if they did.", Ilulu said like that was common sense, "So why would they?"

"They might not know you.", Lucy pointed out, "Also, how would you know if they cheated you or not?"

"Oh right...", Ilulu stated realizing that, "Victor can you teach me!! Saya is being mean!!"

"I am not! You just don't like paying attention to my lessons!", Saya refuted.

"That's because your lessons are boring.", Zero Two laughed.

"Agreed, even I found it a bit lacking.", Mikoto sniped making herself some tea.

"Oh shut up you.", Saya huffed, "You teach them, I am over this!"

Taking a seat in front of them, I took out some fruits from my storage and put price tags on them. Giving them play money, I went through processing transactions with them. Having a visual aid to assist their learning, they understood how to make correct change in less thirty minutes. Hearing Saya fall to the ground in defeat after they demonstrated the concept back to me, I saw the three women give her a wry smile.

"Why did we have to learn about decimal stuff? Victor made it so easy?", Ilulu teased.

"Ugh!", Saya groaned.

"Yeah, you made it way more complicated than it needed to be.", Zero Two jabbed.

"Please stop...", Saya gasped.

"I mean, are you even sure you know how to make change?", Lucy said putting the final nail in that coffin.

Pretending to pass out on the ground, Shizuka and Rika came in from the Clinic talking about something. Noticing Saya lying on the ground, and the smug smiles on the other three women's faces the two of them started laughing.

"Grr!!", Saya shouted, "All of you can-"

"Saya calm down.", Yuriko sighed, "They are doing that to provoke you. You should know better than to buy into their teasing."

"I know, but still!", Saya complained.

"Alright you three, enough with harassing Saya. She was only trying to help you so you could help out more around here.", I reminded them, "As for you two, why are you laughing?"

"I told Saya it was a bad idea from the get go.", Rika told me.

"No you didn't.", Saya refuted.

"Yeah she did, I was making lunch when she told you.", Rei remarked, "You tuned her out, and said that you could do it easily because you were a genius."

"We were there too.", Cammy and Chun-Li shouted from the bedroom.

"Alright...I admit I may not of have heard you.", Saya said puffing her cheeks out.

Apologizing to Saya, her three students thanked her for her efforts. That said, they specifically asked to be taught by me in the future as I was easier to understand. Telling them I could handle that, I changed subjects to something else.

"Listen up you three, tomorrow we heading out to do some hunting.", I told them, "We need to stock up on meat while they are fattening up for winter. I am sure you want to have full bellies every night, right?"

Nodding their heads, they started listing off dishes they wanted to eat that Ilulu told them about. Drooling as they listed off foods, I chuckled and wiped their mouths. Telling them that they couldn't have it all once, I promised to let them try them all over time though. Accepting that, they asked me what we were eating for dinner.

"I already told you, we are having chicken stir-fry.", Saori laughed, "Did you already forget?"

"Victor, what is stir fry?", Lucy inquired.

"It's fry meat and vegetables.", I told her, "It tastes really good."

"Meat!! Meat!! Meat!!", Ilulu pounded on the table, "More meat than veggies!!"

"Agreed, meat is the superior food!", Zero Two agreed.

"I prefer veggies.", Lucy stated.

"That's because you are weird.", Ilulu told her.

"Excuse me, your horns are bigger than mine!", Lucy pouted.

"Her boobs are bigger than yours too.", Zero Two said reaching for them.

"I already told you, they are for Victor only!", Ilulu stated sliding away from her.

"Tsk!", Zero Two complained.

Shaking my head, I was going to tell them to play nice when I noticed several entities flying towards at high speed on the mini map. Seeing that one of them was M. Bison, I clicked my tongue and jumped out of my seat. Currently the barrier wasn't completed yet so him coming here was going to pain in the ass if I didn't meet him at the bridge, but this visit was not completely unexpected. All of us knew that he would eventually come here when we started broadcasting, I just wish he'd have chosen a better time.

"Chun-Li!! Cammy!! We have incoming!!", I shouted putting my armor on with a snap of my fingers.

"What's up?", they said running out of the bedroom.

"M. Bison is going to be here in two minutes.", I told them, "He's coming in from the mainland, gather up your comrades and meet me at the bridge. Shigure and everyone else that can fight, get armored up and head for the bridge as well. I am going now to stop him from getting into the city."

"Shit!", Chun-Li said running back into the room with Cammy to get prepared.

"Ilulu, Zero Two, and Lucy I am leaving home protect to you. If anyone comes in here to do anyone harm, you kill them immediately.", I ordered.

"Aye sir!", they said saluting like the JSDF troops.

Running out of the house, I shouted at Itami and Howard who were coming up the road to sound the emergency alarm. I wanted everyone back in the settlement as soon as possible because if I was going to fight Bison, I didn't need bystanders in my way. Doing as I ordered, the two men ran to the alarm stations and sounded the alarm. As the alarms started sounding, people did as they had trained and immediately went to their homes to arm themselves.

---3rd Person POV---

"What is going on?", Commander Hazama demanded stepping out of his office.

"I don't know, Victor said to sound the-", Itami as a sudden chill shot up his spine.

Feeling it as well, Hazama turned towards the mainland where several dots in the air could be seen moving towards the bridge. Knowing that it wasn't missiles or jets, Hazama made the assumption it was Demons and started dealing out orders to people. Before he got more than a few out, Cammy interrupted him.

"Cancel those orders, that man isn't someone you can harm with conventional weapons.", Cammy said running down the street with Ryu and crew in tow.

"She's right, keep the civilians in their homes, and tell them not to step outside no matter what. His power grows stronger when fear is around.", Ryu told him, "Don't waste your ammo or men trying to fight him."

"Got it, Itami you hear that?", Hazama said to his subordinate.

"Good because I didn't really want to fight anyways.", Itami laughed dryly already heading the opposite direction from the enemy.

Once they were out of ear shot, Ken asked Cammy where Chun-Li and Victor were. Replying that Victor left before her to stop Bison from entering the city, she said Chun-Li would be only seconds behind them.

"Who said seconds?", Chun-Li laughed catching up to them.

"Son of gun, Victor really set you ladies up with good gear.", Guile chuckled admiring the ornate armor the two women wore.

"Of course he did, only the best for us.", Cammy agreed with a smile.

"Enough playing around, any idea why Bison picked now to show up?", Karin asked, "I mean he could have attacked at night or when everyone was spread out. He's attacking when we are all here and awake."

"Knowing him it's to show he isn't afraid of us, and is more than ready to fight all of us at once.", Ryu stated, "Knowing that arrogant bastard, he doesn't give a crap either way."

"Agreed, but who were those people with him. Did anyone get a good look?", R. Mika questioned.

"No...but I don't think they are his allies...", Ryu said, "If he is here to make a point, they are probably people we know and haven't been able to reach."

Agreeing with him, everyone kept running as Victor's other martial artist lovers caught up with them. Saying they were to here back them up, all of them reached the bridge a few moment later. Stopping a few yards from Victor, they all glanced over to Bison floating over the bridge with several familiar faces floating unconscious around him.

"Zangief!!", R. Mika shouted seeing her close friend, "Bison you bastard!!"

"Mika, calm down.", Karin said holding her back, "You are only doing what Bison wants!"

"Haha!!", Bison laughed with a big smile, "Seems all of you have been living a good life while your comrades on the outside have been suffering terribly. It's disappointing that you haven't even attempted to contact them, is this how you treat your comrades?"

Fighting back the urge to go rushing in to fight him now, everyone knew he could drop all his hostages and they couldn't save all of them from hitting the ground. It was a hundred foot drop, and in their current conditions it would likely kill them.

"Are you going to just stand there in talk, or are you going to get this over with.", Victor antagonized him, "I don't have all night buddy, your interrupting my dinner."

"You must be the one Wesker told me about, you are his son Victor right?", Bison asked.

"So what if I am?", Victor remarked with a sigh, "I knew you'd both eventually meet up, I mean you both are pieces of human garbage. With all the chaos he caused, I am sure you were on your knees giving him a blowjob as thanks for a power rush."

"Your teenaged humor isn't going to-", he started to say.

"Sorry, you still got his dick in your mouth and I can't hear you.", Victor cut him off.

Dumbfounded that Victor was trying to antagonize M. Bison, Ryu wanted to ask what he was thinking. Noticing that Bison's smile was breaking, Ryu was worried for his friends currently trapped in Bison's grasp. If Victor pushed too much Bison might crush them with his Psycho Power out of anger.

"Your father did say you were a brat who didn't understand how the New World Order worked.", Bison said trying to calm down, "You must think you are powerful because of that armor."

Snapping his fingers, Victor removed his upper armor and helmet with his magic. Wearing a smirk on his face, Victor seemed to be enjoying the banter he was having.

"You must also think that you are a badass using half dead comrades of my friends to hide, right?", Victor sigh, "If you are such a hot shot, why don't you come down here and talk like man."

"I have had enough with these games!", Bison said sending a Psycho blast towards the group.

Appearing in front of them, Victor took the attack head on without even flinching. Staring at Victor in shock, Ryu and Ken couldn't believe that Victor hadn't even moved an inch from the blow. Not only were they shocked, Bison looked on in disbelief as the attack he sent should have been enough to flip a house.

"Is this all the infamous M. Bison had?", Victor snickered, "I have felt a child hit harder than you. This is your only chance Bison, leave those injured people and turn back. I am not going to make this offer a second time."

"You think because you are able to withstand a fraction of my power that you scare-", Bison started to say before he found himself falling to the ground.

Before he finish, Victor pointed his finger down and Bison sudden slammed face first into the bridge. Feeling the ground shake beneath their feet, Ryu immediately snapped his attention to his friends who were still floating in the air. Watching them float towards them, Victor started to walk towards Bison. Landing safely on the ground in front of them, Ryu and company watched Victor causally approach Bison.

"Let me make one thing clear Bison, I am no Saint. I get you used the chaos my father caused to grow your power just because the opportunity was there. Right now I am sure you are expecting me to say something heroic like I am going to kick your ass for all the people you killed in England or other places around the world. Frankly...I could careless about any of that as nothing I can do now will bring them back.", Victor said with an icy tone sent shivers down the group's spines and started freezing the bridge, "Unfortunately for you, you happened to piss me off two ways today. Do you want to wager a guess as to what you did?"

Watching Victor kneel down, and lift Bison's head up they saw that Bison was pissed off and trying to stand up. Seeing the bridge start to buckle under his Psycho Power, all of them were shocked that he still wasn't able to stand.

"Let me go you Inferior Being!!", Bison seethed.

"You really are no fun Bison, I expected more from someone that gave Chun-Li and Cammy so many headaches. I don't blame them though, a normal opponent would be hard pressed to match you.", Victor snickered, "Since you don't want to guess, I will tell you what you did. Those people beat up and brought here are close friends to two of my lovers. While they are more than capable of fighting for themselves, I feel like I need to deal with this personally since they need to care for their friends. As for the second reason..."

Watching the landscape around Victor instantly cave into around them. Ryu thought that it was Bison trying to kill them, but the collapse stopped a foot from them. Seeing Bison's eyes widen in shock as he looked Victor in the eyes, Ryu felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.

"You can thank my father for reason two.", Victor said in a dark tone, "You can tell the Nameless One I am coming for his head when you see him in Hell."
